Chapter Ninety-Three: Arranging Family Affairs
Lu Xueyi listened to Mingjie's report with a pensive face.
This matter is too suspicious, if they are not biological father and daughter, why would Aunt Su sell herself to bury her father, this is unreasonable.
Aunt Qiao was imprisoned in the firewood room, this matter is already known to everyone in the Lu family, about Aunt Qiao's past, Lu Xueyi is very clear, but I didn't expect the master to care so much about Aunt Qiao's things, she originally intervened just to make Aunt Qiao completely lose power, and stay honestly in her own yard, but she didn't expect it to end up like this, but it was unexpected by her.
But it's good that Aunt Qiao is locked up in the firewood room like this, and the province doesn't know when she hooked Master Lu again, and she was powerful in the house, Lu Xueyi has always looked down on this person, and she didn't do anything when she fell into the well, presumably Aunt Qiao offended a lot of people in the house, and there were people who fell into the well more than they wanted to do.
But this time, even Aunt Xia didn't look at Aunt Qiao, which made Lu Xueyi a little surprised, and thought how solid the oath of the two was, but I didn't expect that in the end, Aunt Xia was the first to clear herself, but the interests of this house are the first, where does the friendship come from, Aunt Xia does this, except that Aunt Qiao will curse her in the dark firewood room, others will definitely not say anything.
After all, Aunt Xia is still half the master in this mansion, and the lord does not dislike her, and treats her the same as in the past.
Lu Xueyi is happy to be idle, and she has been busy practicing her bone charm technique recently, but she has not been affected. It's just that she always feels that something is not right in the way the old lady looks at her recently.
The old lady has indeed been very fond of her, and she is also very good to herself, but when she went to ask for peace recently, she always looked at herself with a little strange look, which made Lu Xueyi feel a little uneasy in her heart, and always felt that under the old lady's kind smile, there seemed to be some plans.
What Lu Xueyi didn't know was that Rong Yanqing, who had been very embarrassed these days, finally mustered up the courage to find the old lady.
Of course, the old lady could see that he liked Lu Xueyi a little, but after all, he didn't speak, so he didn't match the two too much, just secretly observed the interaction between the two, but Rong Yanqing, she liked Lu Xueyi in her heart, but she didn't know how to talk to the old lady.
In the end, in this era, hindering the defense of men and women, even if they admire, they will not say it so grandly, even if they mention it to the people closest to them, they will be ashamed and red-faced.
Rong Yanqing hesitated for a long time in her heart, but in the end she still said that she liked Lu Xueyi, and then openly and secretly hoped that the old lady could match the two.
Lu Xueyi's age is not young, maybe she is still a child in modern times, but now she is about to reach the age of Lu, and in this world, it is time to start looking for people, and she is really not in a hurry to talk about marriage, you can stay for a few years and then get married, but the marriage must be decided early, otherwise those good ones will be picked up by others.
The Lu family is a big family, and the Rong family is not a small family, the family is naturally okay, and the old lady naturally trusts the children of the Rong family more.
But it was not good to respond directly, so he told Rong Yanqing to discuss with Master Lu.
Rong Yanqing left with a little crimson on her face, all she thought about was marrying Lu Xueyi as her wife in the future, but she didn't know that in the old lady's room, the grandmother beside her told her some things beside her.
Recently, Lu Xueyi has been very close to the eldest son of the Rong family, and often plays chess and poems together, which is not a secret in the house, they are all relatives, and they will not be too rigid about etiquette.
The old lady had heard about this a few times before, but now that Rong Yanqing had asked for it, she couldn't make up her mind.
"It's not going to be easy." The old lady rubbed the two stone balls in her palm, both of them were children of the Rong family, she was not very good at either of them, and she liked Yi'er too, and she didn't know what to do with this lord now.
"The old slave thought, you might as well see which young master the girl likes." Mama said tentatively.
The old lady didn't object, she couldn't think of any better idea now, after all, it was a major marriage event, and it was necessary to listen to the children's opinions.
So in the past few days, when Lu Xueyi greeted the old lady, she could always hear the old woman asking some strange questions.
"Yi'er, Nan'er has been practicing calligraphy with you recently, what do you think of his calligraphy?" The old lady seemed to have nothing to say.
"Grandmother, my grandson can't write well, but it's not good to appreciate the words of others." Lu Xueyi said a little shyly.
Her calligraphy is not ugly, but it is still far from having her own style and bones, and he looks at these cousins' words, which are all very good-looking, but she can't see any big difference.
I only have 60 points, and if I look at two more than 100 points, I can only understand the level of 100 points.
The old lady smiled, didn't ask anything more, and chatted with her about family life, although Lu Xueyi was inexplicable, but she didn't take this matter seriously, just because the old lady was old, her thinking jumped out of her mind, and she asked whatever she thought.
It's just that after going back and forth like this a few times, she felt that something was not quite right, and the old lady asked again and again, either Rong Yanqing or Rong Yannan, I don't know what she wanted to ask.
It's no wonder that she's sluggish, it's really that the old lady always knocks on the side, and the bends are too much, and she goes around herself.
Mingyue heard a few signs, and said in her ear after leaving the old lady's courtyard.
"Girl, the old lady is asking which young master of the Rong family you like."
In the end, Mingyue opened her mind early, and when Lu Xueyi heard this, she almost understood it in her heart.
"I'm only fourteen, so my grandmother remembered to choose a family for me." Lu Xueyi couldn't laugh or cry, she really didn't have any special feelings for these two people, could it be that in the eyes of the old lady, it was possible for herself and the two guys of the Rong family?
It seems that this is indeed the case.
She recalled what she had done during this time, although in her opinion it was just a very ordinary communication, but in the current era, doesn't it mean that she has a good impression of the two young masters of the Rong family.
She was a little helpless, as if she had brought herself into the pit, the problem is, her current body is only less than fifteen years old, and she doesn't want to marry at all, in her eyes, she is still a child at this age, if she marries into someone else's family, wouldn't she want to serve her in-laws to spread the branches, just thinking about it makes her scalp numb.
Fortunately, the old lady has nothing to do with this matter for the time being, but she is a little relieved, if the old lady really asks in front of her, she doesn't know how to answer for a while, after all, she doesn't have any feelings for the two of them, let alone marry them.
The old lady seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and Lu Xueyi let her life return to normal, if Rong Yanqing and Rong Yannan had any invitations, she would not refuse.
During this time, she was just as usual, learning painting with Rong Yanqing, practicing calligraphy with Rong Yannan, and the distance was kept just right, no matter how you look at it, it is the same relationship as an ordinary brother and sister.
It's just that Lu Xueyi has the intention to keep her distance, and it's hard to say about the two brothers of the Rong family.
In short, she was able to maintain normal communication with these two before everything was explained.
When the old lady happened to pass by, she saw that they got along very harmoniously, but she was a lot more relieved, after all, throughout the ages, brothers did not fight for women, and she didn't want this to happen in her own home.
Fortunately, the three of them can still maintain their normal appearance now, and the old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to consider this matter in the long run.
But recently, Lu Xueyi really has one thing on her mind, which is not a bad thing, that is, many of her clothes can't be worn.
This year, she is really thin, the original clothes that were worn slim, now they are loose and fat, even if they are changed, it is difficult to change to their own suitable size, I am afraid that these clothes have to be redone.
The Lu family naturally wouldn't deduct her, but she didn't feel good about making so many clothes all at once.
At this time, it was actually Liu Qingqing, the housemother, who made the decision, maybe to please the old lady, or maybe because of something else, in short, when the old lady inadvertently mentioned that Lu Xueyi's clothes didn't fit well, Liu Qingqing took care of it, saying that it was a good thing, so she promised Lu Xueyi new clothes.
When someone buys clothes, she naturally has no opinion, but Liu Qingqing's current ambiguous attitude makes her a little vigilant.
On the way back, Mingyue and Mingzhu followed behind Lu Xueyi, discussing something from time to time, but Lu Xueyi didn't hear it clearly, so she stopped.
"What do you two say?" She asked, curious.
Mingyue covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Girl, I'm talking to Mingzhu about your figure, you have really lost a lot of weight, you were a little plump before, but now you look a lot thinner." ”
Lu Xueyi knew that the plumpness in her mouth meant fat, after all, she hadn't forgotten the chubby self before.
"You two little girls know how to arrange your girl, but now that I have lost weight, I feel that my body is a lot lighter."
Lu Xueyi is naturally not fat in modern times, but she has been here for a long time, and she has gradually adapted to the action of this weight, although it is not slow, but after all, it is not light and dexterous enough, but now that she has lost weight all of a sudden, she is still a little unaccustomed to it.
"It's a good thing that the girl is light." Mingyue smiled, and seemed to be very happy that Lu Xueyi had lost weight.
